The hashtag plot

by digby

So apparently there was a coup plot against Boehner, inspired by some Breitbart kid who came up with a hashtag. Or something.

But this is just hilarious:

Breitbart.com covered the Landry effort extensively, and one Republican member who participated in the larger coup attempt said Breitbart’s coverage of the smaller push actually helped keep their effort hidden because it suggested to Boehner and his allies that talk of a coup wasn’t serious.


Of course it did. If Breitbart's involved you know it's a farce. Boehner's no fool.
